Taringa - Ep 187 - Special Feature - Anzac 2021

For Anzac this year, we read some old letters from our Māori soldiers, and reflect on the hardship and sacrifices they endured. We also spotlight some of the specifics of the language and grammar used at the time.

To see more examples of letters like this, visit https://www.28maoribattalion.org.nz/ and https://www.maorihomefront.nz .

Also - here is a video of the 28th Māori battalion performing Hitara Waha Huka https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfsyXFXoWZI&ab_channel=NewZealandsSecretHiddenHistory
